Embedded Systems for Intelligent Vehicles

With a panoramic view of the scene, a single omnidirectional camera can monitor the 360-degree surround of the vehicle or monitor the interior and exterior of the vehicle at the same time. We investigate probl...

This paper presents a robust method for close-range obstacle detection with arbitrarily aligned stereo cameras. System calibration is performed by means of a dense grid to remove perspective and lens distortio...

This paper presents a loosely coupled fusion approach that merges GPS data, dead-reckoned sensors, and GIS (geographical information system) data. The GPS latency is compensated for by the DR sensors and the u...

For new automotive applications and services, information technology (IT) has gained central importance. IT-related costs in car manufacturing are already high and they will increase dramatically in the future...

This paper aims to develop a GPS, low-cost IMU, and onboard vehicle sensors integrated land vehicle positioning system at low cost and with high (cm level) accuracy. Using a centralized Kalman filter, the inte...

There has been increasing interest in the exploitation of advances in information technology, for example, mobile computing and wireless communications in ITS (intelligent transport systems). Classes of applic...

Nowadays, many embedded sensors allowing localization and communication are being developed to improve reliability, security and define new exploitation modes in intelligent guided transports. This paper prese...
